Running Accomplishments:

Once beat Cheryl at the Hobble Creek Half Marathon about three years ago, and kept up with Peggy for 100m four years ago. Completion of 52 marathons to date.

I enjoy the marathon distance. It demands consistency in training and provides a constant goal to work towards. Could not run without the support of my great family and friends. 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy would be the number one goal. To accomplish this long-term feat I need to cross-train and add strength training into the mix.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Someday I would like to qualify for Boston although at the moment it seems very tough!

Personal:

Love running, music, art, food, friends and family in no particular order it just depends on the day.

This afternoon I headed out for a run. It was in the upper 20's but still a bit cold. I wore a light jacket and tights and it was a good thing I did. The further I went up the canyon the colder it was. Much of the snow and ice was melted off the road so the run was uneventful in the area of slipping and falling.

I found an old Def Leppard album and transfered it to my ipod. It was a blast to run along with those old songs that I loved in high school. The music seemed to recharge my batteries that have been running a bit low lately.

Was it the Hysteria album? That came out when I was in 6th grade. I just thought I'd make you feel a little old:) J/K

Michelle,

It was in fact Hysteria! It came out in '88 when I was a Sophmore/Junior in HIgh School. I didn't feel so old until some young whippersnapper reminded me how old I am!

Hope you are doing well.

Planning on being there for tomorrow's run. Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

Hey, don't talk about being old when I'm around. I'm so old that I've never heard of that album!
